The Challenge of Five Members Born from 'MASK PROJECT' — Over 500 Applicants, Total Views Exceeding 2 Million

Naniyue Monologue was formed through 'MASK PROJECT,' an audition project that began broadcasting in December 2025.

'MASK PROJECT' was launched with the goal of offering a second chance to those who had nearly given up on their dreams due to past failures, setbacks, or trauma. The project received over 500 applicants, and the cumulative views of the audition broadcasts exceeded 2 million. After approximately four months of selection, five members were chosen—each with different backgrounds and pasts, yet united by a strong determination to 'chase their dreams once again.'

They are not flawless stars. They do not possess overwhelming achievements, nor were they initially in the spotlight. Yet they hold a powerful belief in the future and a resolute determination to become someone significant.

Naniyue Monologue is a project that delivers the very process of these five individuals growing toward their dreams.

The Vision of Naniyue Monologue

The current singing scene is home to many talented artists.

However, Naniyue Monologue does not aim to debut as a fully formed entity.

What we want to deliver is the story itself—'From being nobody to becoming someone.'

We aim to share not just success, but also inner struggles and challenges.

We strive to be relatable—not perfect heroes, but figures with whom others can identify.

And we hope that watching these five grow into something significant will inspire others to think, 'Maybe I can try again too.'

This is the very foundation of Naniyue Monologue.

2.5-Dimensional Expression Where Reality and Story Intersect

The visual identity of Naniyue Monologue is based on the real-life members' personalities and atmosphere. Rather than designing characters first, the group's visuals extend from the actual individuals who are pursuing their dreams. With a monochrome base and each member's signature color used as an accent, the design symbolizes 'not yet being complete' and 'gradually discovering one's own color.' This creates the group's worldview as a new form of 2.5-dimensional expression where reality and narrative intertwine.

A Creative Team That Transcends the Singer Scene

Naniyue Monologue has brought together creators who go beyond the typical singer community. Music production involves veteran music creators with long-standing success in the major music scene. Video production features creatives who have worked on large-scale music programs and videos for renowned artists. Illustration is handled by artists known for their expressive power and unique artistic visions.

Our goal is not simply to create a singing group. We are seriously building an environment where these five dreamers can challenge the world. To achieve this, professionals from various fields have come together.

Comment from Yuki Suzuki, CEO and General Producer, Romanz Co., Ltd.

I didn't want to create just another singing group.

What I wanted to create was a place where people who had nearly given up on their dreams could try again.

Both 'MASK PROJECT' and 'Naniyue Monologue' were born from this very sentiment.

These five members are still nobodies.

But precisely because of that, they hold infinite possibilities.

We do not aim to be judged solely within the singing group genre.

By fusing music, video, illustration, and storytelling at a high level, we will challenge the world with entertainment originating from Japan.

And we hope that the journey of these five becoming someone will encourage others to take that next step, giving them the courage to try again.
